POLYAERO'S MIXED REALITY AEROSPACE PROGRAMS
Learn how POLYAERO (Aix-Marseille University) used large-format additive manufacturing to create their mixed-reality aeronautical engineering program.
In partnership with Airbus, POLYAERO has developed unique accredited degree programs in aerospace engineering and maintenance. Using two novel technologies, large-format additive manufacturing and virtual reality, they’ve overcome the limitations of aerospace technology available to universities.
POLYAERO’s one-of-a-kind mixed-reality learning system balances the benefits of virtual reality and 3D printed mockup parts. It’s an ideal training solution that provides students with the tools they need to safely gain valuable hands-on experience.
Read this 3D printing university case study to find out...
- Why large-format additive manufacturing and mixed-reality are a perfect match
- How POLYAERO and Aix-Marseille used 3D printing to improve learning
- How education with industrial 3D printing provides added value to future engineers
- Why additive manufacturing is a growing trend in aerospace industries

LARGE-FORMAT 3D PRINTERS FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH
Read how Kingston University, Helmut Schmidt University and more are using BigRep 3D printers for their classrooms and research.
Universities and colleges constantly commit resources to being future-ready institutions that prepare students for careers of dynamic change with relevant knowledge and life-long skills. Additive manufacturing has proven integral for many institutions aiming for superior teaching and experimentation, for a variety of disciplines, by balancing the modern accessibility of in-house prototyping and production with the relatively low ongoing costs of large-format 3D printers.
Universities have grown beyond training engineering students with additive manufacturing exclusively. Less anticipated disciplines have learned to take advantage of large-format 3D printing in novel ways including business management, law, and business informatics students, preparing them for the new industrial revolution.

EBOOK
Large-format additive manufacturing offers a bigger-picture take on 3D printing.
Increasing the build size increases the possibilities for builds: users can create larger parts, removing the constraints of more standard sizes of build envelopes. 3D printing a large part all at once means less time is spent designing around multiple print jobs, less time assembling multiple parts, and more time getting those parts to work for you.
Discover in the guide,
- How to get started
- Why Size Matters
- How to integrate
- 4 Applications that Benefit from large-format additive
- Case Studies from industry leading companies like Ford, Steel Case and more.
